Well, on Wednesday night, still dealing with the fallout from his “Second Amendment people” comments, Donald Trump tried to make some hay out of the Mateen ‘scandal’. There was just one little problem.

In attendance, seated directly behind Trump, pretty much in the exact same spot Seddique Mateen was at the Clinton rally, was none other than disgraced former Republican Congressman Mark Foley. Yep, THAT Mark Foley, the one who was forced to quit over the explicit sexual messages he sent to underage boys.

Now, people watching the rally at home at already noticed Foley even before Trump decided to hammer Clinton on the Mateen optics thing. But then he went after her, declaring that he absolutely knew everyone that was up on stage behind him that night, so Hillary can’t use the excuse that she didn’t know that Mateen was present. And there was Foley, cheering him on.

Well, needless to say, the Trump mockery was in full effect on Twitter:

Trump just said if you’re sitting behind him at a speech, the campaign knows you’re there
